We get excited when we frame big!
We do take pride in our ability to frame large pieces of art! Here are our latest huge custom picture framing jobs we just finished: No matter the condition of a piece it looks so much better framed! This 6’ signed @obeygiant poster has seen better days but will forever stay in its current condition […]
Oversized, contemporary whitewash ash wood floater frame for Acrylic painting
This is one of those pieces you have to make sure you client can fit through their door! We used a contemporary style clean whitewash Ash floater wood frame for this roughly 7’x7’ acrylic painting on canvas. Floater Frames are perfect for canvas art, mounted art and stretched fabrics too. We have many options for […]
Happy 4th of July with this stacked frame design!
Often when someone brings in a super colorful art piece they want to go more neutral with the framing to tone it down. But every now and again you have someone that wants to lean into it! We came up with a frame design and stacked a red and purple beveled wood frame to be […]
This week’s framing projects at Underglass
We had some very special custom framing projects this past week: From a special gold leafed mat for a California Rodeo poster; we built a shadowbox for some items that were collected from the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles; we played with depth and no color at all because we wanted the full focus to […]
All About San Francisco
We love our City so much and had these two amazing San Francisco themed prints to frame. The map is from the official guide book for the 1939 World’s Fair in San Francisco. We were celebrating the new Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge among other things. A natural wood frame with a mint green […]
Framing and Floating Art on Mats
We always try to work with the whole piece of art and that includes the actual paper or medium. For the colorful flower vase painting from @creativegrowth the frame appears to be just a clean gallery cap, but when you see it at an angle you see that beautiful warm wood tone on the side […]
A hand carved Art Deco frame!
We used a beautiful hand carved art deco frame and a bold double mat design for this print of the famous @chezpanisse cookbook cover. We love how the wood grain in the frame adds so much detail to the overall frame design. Proud of this custom framing project right here in our San Francisco Picture […]
Elegant hand wrapped mats and hand carved gold leaf frame
Donna Schuster was an award winning watercolor artist born in 1883. She moved to California in 1913 and this painting is from that era. We used two hand wrapped fabric mats and a hand carved gold leaf frame to pull on the tone and keep with the period. We also love how this custom frame […]
French design mood with this 1800’s textile pattern!
This French textile pattern is from the late 1800’s! It’s actually five panels that we hinged together and mounted as one large piece. We found the perfect linen to float it on, almost looks like it’s taken straight from the pattern! And the ornate frame completes the feel for an antique French design. We love […]
Small picture frames? No problem!
Who says custom picture framing has to be always big?! We just framed this beautiful small painting. We designed around scale and shape rather contrast and came up with a 3 ½ inch frame. We think this warm silver looks so elegant and clean and is just perfect for the art! Underglass Custom Picture Framing […]
